Come join us for multi-age, unstructured free play! Children will play together and be encouraged to solve their own disagreements together. Parents can stay and act as "lifeguards" - only intervening if someone is getting hurt. No structured games will be organized, but kids are welcome to bring "loose parts" such as balls, jump ropes, etc. Play club is ideal for ages 5 and up, but obviously younger siblings can join as well. See the attachment for play club rules. Please RSVP!
